Asked By:Genuine3041 in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
Hi, I'm a 50 year old Caucasian male. I've had two co2 laser procedures for some not so deep acne scars. The first one which was 2 years ago was a not too strong 3 pass procedure. It turned out fine. But this last one I received was a very strong 1 pass procedure. I wont get into the details because its sad. Anyway it's almost 6 months later and I have been left with holes all over. Some look like large pores going in straight lines. I would like the best advice on how to treat this situation. Thank you.
